Name says it all! Glad to be here.

So I have been lurking for a while and finally pulled the trigger today on a 2010 Hardtop JCW. This thing is fun! I have been doing some research, and I cannot seem to get a definitive answer on which tune to buy, I was thinking an Evolution tune ($600 for the at home cord). I already have a myriad of mods planned for this little pocket rocket. Can't wait to join in on the discussions!

Soo it begins, after I put her up, a friend asked me to come over and show it to him. This was the result after some spirited driving

Don't know what to do, the stealer ship is closed tomorrow and I am super pissed.

Good looking car. Hopefully the oil leak is just a loose filter housing or something. I was also thinking hard about Battle Tuning. Welcome!!

Quick update

So I woke up and saw an even bigger puddle under her this morning, which made me happy. I looked under and saw a drip from the oil pan and it turns out they didn't place the oil pan gasket on. Called the stealer ship and they agreed to pay for a new oil change, naturally I went to a wash and change place and got the works (mobile one with a wash and wax ($112)). Can't wait to do some mods next weekend!

$112 for wash and wax? Ah man, I wanna say she'll look amazing, but at the same time I can only image the added swirls with the towels most mobile units use. I hope swirls were removed!
